yea, i didn't know bot this?? OMG!! is it true? when did Ayu say it? but why? i think he's great and i like him as Ayu's drummer...

thanx for the Youtube link,i didn't expect that i could watch it this nite,just after the show! awesome! :yes

Nice performance^^ It's true that she was at parts struggling and I think I heard her going off-key for a really short time in the chorus, but this is better than what she did in AT09.

She talked in her diary that she together with TRF dancers (etsu and chiharu) they had do to a selection...

I don't know if this affected the band... maybe it's not that he was fired... maybe he couldn't keep working for Ayu for personal reasons..


nice performance... vocals weren't perfect but not the worst... her emocion was 100%!!! hope she'll improve her vocals for this song!! I want BALLAD to be performed *-*! please Ayu!!! XD

Maybe it's her best performance on TV since... 2006? Even if her voice wasn't at its best...

I like her performance!
I think she was struggling on her vocals on the opening but the rest is really good but not perfect though.

Im looking forward on other performance now! :D

These kind of ballads seem to suit her vocals these days I think. The verse at the beginning was really nice, then it kinda got a bit iffy in the chorus parts but because this is a "shouty" kind of song, she can just shout through it.

Overall though I thought the performance was enjoyable and I really liked her dress. It was pretty without being like in your face glamorous.

I feel like I'm in the twilight zone! :laugh

I thought she sounded okay, the performance as a whole was great though lol.

lol. Yup, you are in the twilight zone today. :)

^ Well since our little chat about her vocals last time, I never would suspect you would use the word "enjoyable" with this performance LMAO.

^ Oh I can still find a performance enjoyable even if there are vocal problems. Her vocals definitely were not perfect in this, but they are about what I expected.

Yeah, they were kind of what I expected too. Okay, maybe I have one foot out of the twilight zone now. :laugh

I agree with others, the performance was really enjoyable!! Her vocals were definitely really good except perhaps a bit in the chorus with the high notes. She looked gorgeous as well!! I hope the other performances will be like this :yes

nicely done, imo. i love how animated she gets when singing ballads!

I agree with the majority here, the performance (now in HD) was enjoyable, her vocals were good and she didn't over do the yelling :)

i thought the performance was decent vocally. i think if we should start seeing a vocal coach weekly, her voice would improve. she needs to get out of the habit of shouting and learn to belt properly. (this is not a knock on ayu. she needs to retrain herself vocally, especially since partial deafness.) one would hope than instead of putting more pressure on her voice and ruining it further, that she would start taking the steps to perfect/preserve it.

How beautiful she looked! Awesome performance as well, though it could have been better. The stage was soooo pretty :luv2.

I can't stop watching this performance :luv2

love her dress, her hair and her vocals, surprisingly <3

I love You were...!!!!!

i love the performance..Ayu looks so beautiful! even though she kind of howling ..but still love it..her vibration awesome!!!!!!!!

The music station performance is good, I love it!

oh i also read about that,and i thought the audition is for another new dancer.ermm..maybe he has a personal reason...

agree with you guys,and now can't wait for Best Artist performance,just another 2 days :luv2 what song she would sing there?
